But what about the power of more traditional media, such as television, to empower indigenous communities? Thanks to a new production, indigenous Maya across Central America will get to share in one of Latin America’s greatest media legacies: telenovelas. A team in Mexico is hoping to revitalize Maya language among indigenous – and increasingly urban – youth with a television soap opera written in Maya language. Baktún, the world's first soap opera produced in a Maya language, debuted at the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City on 20 June 2013. The telanovela has since received international attention, with coverage in the New York Times, AOL News, and Fox News Latina.
